1.句意：许多女孩喜欢买和穿新衣服，但我的表妹贝蒂不喜欢。

根据句意可知本词指代词上文提到的“买和穿新衣服”这件事，可知用it指代，故答案为it。

2.句意：她修长高挑，还有一双大大黑的眼睛。

本句是主系表结构，谓语是is，后面的词是名词，可知后面填介词；with：有，介词；故答案为with。

3.句意： 他在医院工作。

根据上文“Her father is a doctor.”可知“他在医院工作。”故答案为hospital。

4.句意：她在高中教英语。

根据上文“Her mother is a teacher.”可知“她在高中教英语。”主语she是第三人称单数，可知谓语动词使用单数，teach：教，三单的形式是teaches；故答案为teaches。

5.句意：她经常带贝蒂去服装店，但贝蒂不让她妈妈给她买新衣服。

根据转折词but可知“贝蒂不让她妈妈给她买新衣服。”本句主语Betty是第三人称单数，否定句借助助动词doesn’t；故答案为doesn’t。

6.句意：她有一些旧衣服，贝蒂喜欢穿。

根据句意前后句是递进关系，可知使用并列连词and，故答案为and。

7.句意：然而，当贝蒂的父母给她买书时，她总是很高兴。

本句主语Betty’s parents复数，可知谓语动词使用原形；短语buy sth. for sb.给某人买某物；故答案为buy。

8.句意：你觉得怎么样？

句型What do you think of sth.？你认为某事怎么样？表示对某物的评价；故填What。
